Does anyone have any info on New England gunsmith George Sheldon or his Bobcat 1911s? I am of the understanding that he is accredited with pioneering the shortening of the 1911 slide via the Bobcat, and was a contemporary of Armand Swenson. Masaad Ayoob seems to mention him most often of all...

Awesome Thread! Ajax, Thank you for sharing this! Since July, I have been taking a second look at the rusty "relics" while, making my rounds with the local gun shops. I have an old Savage copy of the Winchester 1890 thats still shot every so often, but has lived in a barn for years along with...

George Sheldon Bobcat I have not logged in for almost a year, and to come back to learn about George Sheldon and the original Bobcat that he pioneered is truly amazing. I tried finding more info on Sheldon, but there is not much out there except for the mentions by Masaad Ayoob. I really had...

That sounds like a first-year to me. I have never personally seen/handled one, but I did see a lower serial number than mine in rather mint shape for over $1100 firm without a box. Here is mine from 1923-24, with box and original 12/24/1924 receipt...

Hi. Seeking advice from fellow High Roaders. Here is what I have accumulated thus far for my photo-worthy pistols/revolvers. Based on what I have in my "family pic", which SA revolver do you think I should go with? I shoot them all, and this will always apply to any handgun I own...

Supercat's Range Report I had some business near my old stomping grounds in New Hampshire today, and I took the opportunity to stop into the new facility at the Manchester Firing Line Range before leaving the area. This is really a great facility, and I would recommend it to anyone who has...

Oceanbob, that's the best looking Glock. It looks functional in a .45 caliber powertool sort of way. (maybe it is the magazine that looks like a battery on my Dewalt or Makita!) Good job on that, and just might want to copy that, myself. OT, but I'd like to know what the deal is with that...

Fast forward to around 46 minutes into the Loeb memorial service from CSPAN's archives, where the Union Leader's President is saying a few words about Mrs. Loeb: http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/154719-1 In it, he explains that she went to visit her friend Ronald Reagan at an event...

I agree totally, Nullcone. Sheldon's smug mug engraved on that nice Colt almost made me walk away. My guess is that the cat and names were engraved more recently, when Mrs. Loeb was up there in years, and that the 1776 - 1976 was done at the bicentennial when that was the craze. The...

I wish it was $100 total, but yes, to be clear, $800 was the out the door price. I look forward to finding some .38 super and bringing it out to the range. It has been a long time, and Sheldon del Gato (thank you Baba Louie :cool:) has inspired me to get out there and punch some holes in some...

I was browsing on the inventory page of a favorite gun shop, late last night, and I noticed a newly-listed Colt Super .38 Automatic for sale for $899 with the serial number 121xx. I have always wanted a .38 super, and being sort of a numbers guy, I happened to remember that John Dillinger's...

Massachusetts Compliant The Governor will likely be Mass compliant, while the Taurus Judge (or any Taurus, for that matter) is not. Personally, I have no use for a .410 in anything but a long barrel, but I can see how making it available to mass residents would account for a number of initial...

Hooptie, I am glad that you are OK considering what could have been! :what: Let me get this straight. The .22lr round went off entirely on it's own, and happened to be in the chamber of your Jennings, and while you happened to be holding it??? Wow. I might have to re-think making fun of...

/k/anadian, Your Russian Toakrev is the best looking pistol i've seen in a long time!!! May I ask, where did you find those grips? Marschal Grips in Hungary? Those are great! I've always been on the fence, but, I'm looking for a Russian TT-33 as of right now to keep my Makarovs...

So thats what that is!!!

I'm an insomniac this time of the year, and have been cleaning out the handgun safe. Thought I'd snap a few pics of something that we don't see everyday. Pretty good condition Colt 1908, in it's slightly tattered box, with the original hang tag and receipt from december 24th, 1924, for your...

I was traveling to work through a rural town when a tow truck blew the red light and ended up in front of me while I was passing through the intersection at 40 mph or so. I am in Massachusetts, and have what we call a "Class A LTC, large capacity, with no restrictions" allowing me to...

Thanks, JohnBT. I just HAD to read that last comment mid-sip of my mid-afternoon coffee! Now I need to dry out my keyboard! :neener:
